The Wackness Gets Another Full Trailer
http://www.firstshowing.net/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ the-wackness-gets-another-full-trailer/
This will be the last time I run another trailer for The Wackness until we eventually get a red band version. We've already featured two other trailers previously, both of which really did not do a great job of selling the movie. This new one focuses more on the relationship between Josh Peck and Olivia Thirlby, which is really the root of the whole film anyway, although we don't get any of the great pot smoking moments with Ben Kingsley. I think this one is the best so far, but still not perfect. You just need to continue to trust us when we tell you this is a phenomenal movie that you need to see despite how bad the trailers may look.

The Wackness Trailer for June - The Best Yet?
http://www.4outof10.com/news/2008/06/10/the-wackness-trailer...This now marks the fourth entirely different trailer for the Sundance hit The Wackness in two months time. I don’t know what Sony Pictures Classics is thinking, but releasing trailer after trailer isn’t going to help market this film. They just need another really solid red band trailer and the buzz will pick up. You can watch the first, second, and third trailer here and catch this newest one below. As a reminder, The Wackness is an incredible indie gem set in New York City in 1994 about a teenaged pot dealer named Luke Shapiro and his drug-addled psychiatrist Dr. Squires. As we always say, keep in mind that this film is actually wonderful no matter how much you do or don’t like the trailer below. I’d love it if they could put some actual quotes from websites who loved this film, but that probably won’t happen. Oh well, we can dream! If you’re up for a fun adventure into the world of The Wackness, then I suggest you check out the official website. That “1994″ section is a trip! Is this newest trailer any better than the others? Watch the new trailer for The Wackness: [See post to watch the video] You can also watch The Wackness trailer in High Definition on Yahoo The Wackness is both written and directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Jonathan Levine of All the Boys Love Mandy Lane previously. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and was bought by Sony Pictures Classics for under million. Go read our 9 out of 10 review of the film to understand why it’s so damn good. The Wackness hits theaters this summer on July 3rd - be there or be square! The latest teaser poster is featured below. Discover More: Hype, Indies, Trailers, Worth Watching
